How much has the county spent to house Abdullah White in the LaRue County Detention Center?

~•~

According to jail records, the total for his accommodations and meals was almost $18,000 as of last week. White has spent some time in the Hart County Detention Center as well. He was charged with the 2011 murder of 28-year-old Kristie Allen.

I very much enjoyed the variety and mix of the agri-experience throughout our community. This is a great educational opportunity for our youth as well as adults. To learn that local cabbage is not only grown and sold but also contains the value-added element of coleslaw production. And to find that local corn has become an important ingredient in Kentucky bourbon distilling is most satisfying to me.

I am what most people would call a nerd. I always have been. I can rattle off the names of every major (and most minor) Game of Thrones characters, I love history, I take an odd amount of pride in remembering completely pointless movie trivia (did you know that all of Jeff Bridges’ attire in The Big Lebowski was from his own closet?) and I generally occupy my free time with the nerdiest hobbies around. I bowl, I play video games and I’m all caught up in collecting those Pop! vinyl figures lately.

When I first applied for an internship through the Kentucky Press Association, I was not sure of what all it would entail. Obviously, I assumed that I would be writing, but even though I have been writing all my life and have taken journalism classes, it would’ve been wrong for me to call myself a journalist, because, frankly, I was not.

Thank you for the opportunity to share more about our vision of the future of Hardin Memorial Health (HMH). Our current construction of private rooms is only one part of an exciting, comprehensive vision positioning HMH for the future. Three years ago a strategic planning committee, comprised of Board members, physicians, community leaders, and hospital staff began a process that culminated in the development of a long-range strategic plan for HMH, which was unanimously approved by all members of the Board.
